Title: New Sly Guy In Town
Post by: The_Chavez on August 15, 2007, 09:36:33 AM
Hi Everyone,

  My name is Chase and I just shaved my head a few days ago.....and I am loving it! A few months back I had noticed that my hair was thinning out so I had my friend shave it then.....Well, that didn't work out to well. Lots of razor bumps and lots of cuts....I hated it, so I let it grow back out. I was never happy though, and all my friends told me that I had looked good with a shaved head, so I went Sly once again....But this time I went and bought a headblade and did it myself....Damn that thing is amazing! I didnt cut myself once(I have the sport). The only problem I have is the bumps. They look like they are starting to go away the more I shave, but if you guys have any suggestions feel free to share! I am using Bald Guyz moisturizer and it seems to be helping some. But yeah my confidence is back so I might start talking to girls again! lol. And I think I look like a hardcore metalhead(which I am, I also play guitar). Anyways thanks for this wonderful site...And just know.....

There is a new Sly Brother amoung you.

Chase

Welcome, Chase !

Stick around and join the fun, man

As far as the bumps...make sure you are doing a "full" routine....i.e. not just slappin' shaving cream up there and going at it.

Here's an article that helped me:

Also there is a thread here that discusses everone's routine:

Welcome to the Slyest Town around. I've found the best way to keep the bumps away is to keep a clean dome. Find an exfoliator you like and use it a few times a week. I use mine right before I shave.

You have questions, we have answers!!!!!!

Welcome Chase, glad to have you with us.  I too had a problem with bumps when I first started being sly.  Try the Bald Guyz moisturing gel after shaving.  Eliminated all bumps for me.

Hey Chase, welcome to Sly Bald Guys!! The links Robmiester posted are good.  Also, try a different blade on your headblade, or a different type of cream or gel.  You should also try rinsing with really cold water after your shave to see if that helps.
